Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

[Honeyboy Wilson]

After reading through this whole AC/DC thing on the Port Store thread (thought I might as well post in here, to keep from further derailment).

I'm reminded that music, above all forms of entertainment, seems to have people want their musical identities to be based on what they don't like rather than what they do. I don't know if it's always been this way, or if it's a new phenomena, but so many people seem proud of expressing their distaste for certain bands. They wear it like a badge of honour. Well I DON'T like that, that's who I am!

Seems a waste of energy to me.

I recently discovered this and it's punching me in the dick with awesomeness:

Ken McGregor reads magazines about world war 2

 

[LukeSA]

Finally got Fallout 4 working yesterday. :thumbu:

 

[finbarr]

I haven't had a headache like this since Wizards & Warriors III

This is all like a foreign language to me. The last video game I played and got to the end of was Ghouls & Ghosts on Sega Mega-Drive. Hated when you accidentally picked up the firewater as your weapon.

A description of how my FO4 game time goes

1. start at Sanctuary, choose a mission, start walking to waypoint
2. stop at a bunch of buildings on the way, kill everyone inside, take all the stuff
3. Repeat step 2 a bunch of times until I forget what my initial intention was
4. Talk to NPC's who have side missions
5. NPC tells you to go do a bunch of stuff, kill these Raiders, find this power cell etc etc
6. Realise that I've already done all the things they've asked me to do in steps 2 and 3. Accidentally complete 10 missions at once. Get swag XP

So I may or may not have already put 20+ hours into Fallout 4

 

[Janus]

I get seriously bored shitless playing it ...when I mean half an hour tried 3 or 4 different character set ups and just couldnt bring myself to get past the first city.. .its not like i dont have the patience as elder scrolls sucked my life

I re-downloaded NV last night I will give it another chance

I battled through Fallout 3 because I loved Fallout and Fallout 2 and the first person change sucked me in. But when the best thing people can talk about is the side missions - I'll pass. It sounds suspiciously like conditioning for a Fallout MMO to me.

18 for me. The shame...

Doesn't matter. It couldn't have knocked any sense into him anyway.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Haven't even bought it yet. Get on my ****ing level.

Between full-time work and three exams in the next month. I'm being a good boy.

So I may or may not have already put 20+ hours into Fallout 4

A mate of mine just started two weeks of holidays today.

He denies it's so he can sit on FO4 for two weeks.


I don't believe him.

What do you American car buffs think of this HQ Premier with a transam front?

Yuckski for me. Not a real fan of the trans am in the first place and I always found these 'options' tacky.

The original HQ look is awesome IMO.

Prefer the single headlight HQ to the twin light premier look but I do like both.

 

[Phhht]

I love TransAms, so it appeals to me, but I also agree that the HQ is a work of art that shouldn't be altered. Interesting though that front end was an official option licensed by Holden.

I think though, I prefer mine.

[CrimsonRaven]

mfw Fallout 4 runs fairly well on minimum specs even though I have a very out of date computer

Indeed. My 1 gig card runs very well on medium

Honestly speaking, for a vehicle that hasn't intentionally been kept in great condition, it has survived 40 years in pretty good condition and hopefully won't be too much work.

If only it wasn't purple... Not that I've a problem with that! Love the colour, but a car from Port Adelaide belonging to me, a nice black with white trimmings would be awesome.
